    Do you buy or sell the theory that Bob Arum is waiting for floyd mayweather to get old before he agrees to make the mega fight (pac vs floyd)

    Floyd can easily trump that by agreeing to 7 days cut-off testing and make the fight. Floyd 1- Arum 0.

    Sell. It's not Bobs fault the fight hasn't happened.

    Nah he just wants to continue making money matching Pacquiao up with in-house guys (or at least "free agents") in absolutely terrible fights. Same applies to Floyd. Neither side is waiting, they just don't care to work with each other.

    I think floyd is waiting untill he is 100% sure he can win, also feel that arum might think the chance of pac losing is big and therefore prefers to keep him with big money inhouse fights till he is done then feed him to the waiting mayweather.

    As long as lil floyd keep his 0 by fighting tune-ups in which *****s keep paying for it, he'll never fight Pac, he says it himself.

    Yes cuz remember after Floyd humilated Marquez...Arum and Pac did everything in their power to avoid Mayweather...but when they thought ayweather lost his legs in the Mosley fight, they were a tad more lenient!

    Floyd is possibly the only fighter out there besides Martinez who could beat Pacquiao, Floyd beats Pac and then hes lost his cash cow.

    I believe Pac and Floyd will fight but it will be Pacs last fight when Arum can cash in on him. theres no risks to be made then as hes juiced everything out of Pac that he can

    I personally think arum is waiting for floyd to get old. If pac beats floyd its big money for arum

    Makes little sense. Floyd has the style for longevity. Pac looks to have declined more than Floyd tbh.

    It depends on the fighter surely 35 was old as hell for ali and morales but isnt for a guy like hopkins and probably mayweather as well.
